I used this as the address to create a new server( socket()
, bind()
, listen()
):
struct sockaddr_in newServer;
memset(&newServer, 0, sizeof(newServer));
newServer.sin_family = AF_INET;
newServer.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_ANY);
newServer.sin_port = htons(UNUSED_PORT);
The macro UNUSED_PORT is defined as 0.
I expect to get a server listening on any interface and on an unused port.
I tried to use getsockname()
to get my local IP address and port, but I got some strange outputs. The output code as below:
struct sockaddr_in localAddress;
socklen_t addressLength;
getsockname(newServerfd, (struct sockaddr*)&localAddress, \
&addressLength);
printf("local address: %s\n", inet_ntoa( localAddress.sin_addr));
printf("local port: %d\n", (int) ntohs(localAddress.sin_port));
For example, I got 0.255.255.255:0, 0.0.0.0:0, 255.127.0.0:36237, etc. and my system is Mac OS X 10.7.3.
--update--
After using socklen_t addressLength = sizeof(localAddress);
(thanks to @cnicutar and @Jonathan Leffler), I always get 0.0.0.0 for local IP; is that all right?
您需要在调用getsockname
之前初始化addressLength
:
socklen_t addressLength = sizeof(localAddress);
After using socklen_t addressLength = sizeof(localAddress); (thanks to @cnicutar and @Jonathan Leffler), I always get 0.0.0.0 for local IP; is that all right?
However it works fine when there is an incoming connection.
